The challenge for any company operating in the rental marketplace is to find a best-of-breed rental software solution that integrates to their existing financial system..

Many rental companies first implement a financial system to run their business and eventually, to support the unique requirements of the rental industry, add or “bolt-on” a separate rental system. While this appears to be simpler and less costly than replacing the existing system with a new fully integrated one, the reality is this “bolt-on” creates significant ongoing problems and costs that never go away.

Rental fleets have high procurement and operating costs. One of the largest costs is driven by maintenance of the fleet and while ensuring high levels of service, safety and efficiency, these costs need to be effectively managed and controlled.

Preventative or scheduled maintenance is an effective way to reduce costly, unplanned maintenance and shrink vehicle and equipment downtime. With diverse fleet assets, ranging from pickup trucks to heavy-duty equipment, it can be difficult to keep track of varying maintenance schedules.
